The Maharashtra Government is all ready to give Nagpur airport to the private hands. As reported, the government has been in talks with companies such as Boeing, Tatas and Reliance to seek investment in the aviation sector.

It is known - and recognised - that the Indian economy is one of the fastest growing in the world. However, for this growth to sustain, the infrastructure sector needs acceleration at a much faster pace. With this in mind, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley allocated Rs 396,135 crore for the infrastructure sector in this year´s Budget, up 10 per cent from the previous year.

The initial cost for the proposed Chhatrapati Sambhajiraje Pune International Airport at Purandar is expected to be approximately Rs 2,000 crore. The land component would comprise a major chunk of the package. Recently, work for the proposed airport at Purandar has gained momentum after AAI gave in-principal nod for the site.

Six private players, which include Essel Infrastructure, IRB Mumbai, GVK, GMR, Tata Realty and PNC Infrastructure, have responded to the request for qualification (RFQ) floated for the Nagpur airport. With six players responding, it is now pegged to be the biggest ever response to any airport privatisation bid.

The government is likely to finalise a new site at Purandar in Pune district for the proposed international airport. Officials from the Airports Authority of India and the Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) inspected the site for the second time recently and are to submit a technical report soon
